This is a travesty of justice. The only way to establish clear and present danger is to recognize that Muslims are dangerous and prone to violence in the face of non-violence. Is that what Judge Mark Somers wants to convey?

This Terry Jones guy is an idiot but why the double standard?

The Westboro Baptists are always out protesting and they are not banned. Here they are protesting in front of a Synagogue in Dallas.

Dearborn is the same place where Christians were arrested for simply handing out literature.

That said, they're hinging the 'difference' on the fact that after the media covered Jones, our troops overseas got attacked. So, they're basically trying to turn Jones' 'thoughts' into a national security secret without actually restricting the media from pointing cameras at him.

This is why people approve of the media outlets filtering news. Of course, nowadays they only filter what doesn't fit their agenda, not what is or isn't responsible to cover. Which makes one wonder how this guy fits their agenda. And the answer, of course, is this is an excuse to attack free speech. Nothing more.
